Testimonials:

• Jody was great to work with and she was enthusiastic and demonstrated a genuine interest in our wants and needs from start to finish. She was always available if we had questions. We would not hesitate to recommend her.
  

• Jody is an enthusiastic and optimistic person who goes after a deal with everything in her power. We put our condo on the market when the market was not all that hot. She held a very large number of open houses and really drummed up interest in the unit. Starting with aggressive pricing she managed to get us a deal much better than we had anticipated.
  

• We first met Jody Carlson of Coldwell Banker (Siesta Key) at an open house on Siesta Key. Although we did not submit an offer on that property, we maintained contact with Jody as she helped us find and purchase the condo we were looking for. Jody was more than helpful in our search, guiding us through each step of the purchase. She even helped us to obtain sources and documents needed for our homeowner's insurance. In short, she made the process so pleasant for us. She is truly delightful to work with. We have no reservations about recommending Jody. If we should have additional real estate needs in the future, Jody will be our go to, hands down. By the way, if you like Tootsi Rolls, Jody has the best available on Siesta Key !!!!

• We absolutely loved working with Jody. She negotiated for us and always had our best interests when working on our behalf. Jody has kept us updated throughout the whole buying process and we are thrilled to have found our new home.
  

• We came to Sarasota for a vacation and left with a new Condo! We couldn't have done it without the tireless effort of Jody Carlson. Her work ethic is incredible. She immediately knew what we were looking for and was able to narrow our search criteria so we wasted no time. She has worked behind the scenes, all hours of the day and night, for us from contract signing to closing. We truly value her advice, professionalism and friendship. She would certainly be our first choice for any future deals.
  

• Jody worked tirelessly representing us. She advanced our best interests in a professional manner and there was never an information or time gap when we had questions. There is no one else we will consider using when our next move occurs.
